We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions. If you have a question not answered below, please contact Capitol Property Management at 703-707-6404.

Who do I contact for questions or concerns?

Contact our management company at 703-707-6404 with any questions or concerns.

Why do we need a management company?

Emerald Chase has chosen to employ the services of Capitol Property Management to help us manage and operate our community. One of the most important advantages of hiring a management firm is that it gives us a specific person to turn to in order to address community problems, answer questions, and field complaints. In addition, the management company provides a monthly report to the Board which includes important communication and a full financial accounting. The company also verifies and sends violation letters, solicits contract bids and proposals and serves as a point of contact for the service providers, sends out assessment statements and processes the dues, and are responsible for filing federal and state taxes as well as reviewing and updating the community insurance. Community
Association managers are familiar with the issues, laws, and concerns that affect associations and can serve as a valuable resource to volunteer leaders and all homeowners.
